In 2003, Stuart Reid co-founded The Partnering Initiative, an independent nonprofit organization providing research, training and consultancy around international cross-sector partnerships. Stuart now sits on the TPI board of trustees as well as continuing to contribute significantly to a range of TPI’s programs. One of Stuart’s most striking assets is his ability to bridge the gap between research and practice — combining academic rigor with highly pragmatic and implementable approaches. He has extensive experience of partnership evaluation and organizational change and development from his many years of consultancy and research.
